Tips for Monitoring and Working with Your Student at Home


Create Your Classroom in the Home
-Have a specific location to do school each day.
-Set up a desk and supplies.
-Make the space special for your student and involve the student in the design.

Establish Your Routines for the School Day 
-Have school begin at the same time each day. Our school day begins at 8:30 am.
-Check in with Mr. Dick and Mrs. Wilt each morning on Skype when beginning your school day.
-Do stand and stretch breaks between each assignment.


Teaching vs. Helping 
-Take a break if students are frustrated. No learning can occur in a frustrated brain.
-Allow students to use manipulatives (objects) to help them to understand difficult concepts.
-Use story organizers or story maps to help students understand what they read or plan stories or reports they are writing. 
-Parent should sit next to students at the same table as they work. Model the work that you want to see from them. 
-Don’t expect them to do the work on their own without support and guidance. Even high school students need this in place.
-Allow students to talk through difficult problems or problem solving steps. It allows the brain to “hear” the concepts differently.
-Use online tools that have been shared including Khan Academy, videos provided by the teacher, and links in the lessons.
-Check laptops for extra open tabs. Students can flip back and forth quickly as they avoid work and hide it from you.
